1t IS an error to suppose that severe
winters are destructive to insect life.
According to Mr.. McLachlan, an En-
glish entomologist, Larvae may be frozen
until as brittle Is rotton stick, in
which condition they can scarcely be
said to live, but ON the return of warm
weather they revive, quite uninjured
by their freezing. 1t is noteworthy
fact that butterflies and bumblebees
have been found almost as close to the
North Pole as man has ever approached.

THIS Us GRATITUDE.

With over $780, 600, 900 surplus with which
it knows not what to do, the Nation still
allows $4,000 of its decrepit veterans to eat
the bitter bread of want in the County
poor-houses More than that many more
are making proud fights with want and pain
to save themselves from becoming charge
upon the country.
Was there ever such ingratitude q
reputation of sacred obligations?
When these men were in the glow and
pride of youth, when they should have been
laying strong and deep the foundations of a
sufficient provision for their old age, the
country called them away, and begged them
to leave all to serve and save her. They did
so and sacrificed everything for her. Now
when they are old and decrepit, when the
infrmities, resulting from their arduous
services, clutch them with an iron hand
she delays, postpones, haggles with them as
if they were hucksters with whom she must
drive sharp bargain.
She did not treat the bondholders so OF
the men who sold her mules, shoddy uni.
forms and shoes.

LOGAN'S DEATH.

Logan was the type of the volunteer sol
dier in every particular. Even in the pre-
mature ending of his life he represented
that band of men who left everything
to consecrate themselves to the service
of the imperiled Nation. Had it not
been for the awful strain of the war
he would in all probability have lived
till near 100. He had q physique
such as few men are blest with. 1t
seemed made of tempered steel. But the
bivouac in the sleet and snow around Donel-
son, the months spent In the malarious
swamps of Vickssurg, the hardships of the
march through the Carolinas, and the awful
strains of battle wrecked even his constitu.
ton and shortened his life % or 80 years
No man can undergo the strains of march
and battle without great impairment of his
vital forces.

THE most favorable peace symptom of the
week is the announcement that a syndicate
of German bankers, with the Rothehilds at
the head, have decided to refuse to take hold
of the Russian war loan. This will greatly
embarrass, if not prevent Russia making war.
Her finances are in bad shape, and would
seem as if she can do nothing unless she can
borrow money abroad. The action of the
German bankers is based on patriotic as
well as business reasons. To lend Russia
money to enable her to make war, is to give
her the means of iDjuring their own countries,
and of deranging business to an enormous
extent. War once begun there is no telling
where it will end. 1t is more than likely
that every Nation in Europe would become
embroiled in a short time, and the end nc
man can foresee.

No REELECTION NOW.

There should be no reduction in the reve-
nues of the Government until the just claims
of those whom the Nation owes are salts
fed. The Nation does owe it to those who
fought its battles in the years 1861, 80 and
'63, that their bounties be made equal to
those of the men who entered the service
later in thewar. She owes arrears of pensions
to those who were broken down in her service,
but who failed to apply within the limited
time for pensions She owes every disabled and
dependent veteran enough to keep him and
his family out of the poOrhOuse, and to pro-
vide him and them with the comforts of life
She owes every prisoner of war a repayment,
as far as money will repay him, for all that
he endured at her command in the prison
hells of the COnfederacy. She owes every
widow and orphan of deceased veteran q
continuance of the pension of the dead hus-
band and father
Until the claims of these creditors of the
Nation are satisfied there should not be
dollar taken off the revenues.

PAYING FOREIGN PENSIONERS.

The Commissioner Of Pensions has recently
adopted the system of international money
orders for the payment of pensioners resid-
ing in foreign countries instead of by check,
as heretofore. This will be of great advan-
tage to these pensioners for several reasons.
In the first place, il is estimated that il has
heretofore cost this class Of pensioners an
average Of 10 per cent. of the face value of
their checks TO get them cashed by foreign
bankers, and inasmuch as the average quar-
terly payment TO these pensioners is $3s, it
will be seen that it has heretofore cost them
an average of $3.50 each to get these checks
for their quarterly payment cashed. Under
the system just adopted il will only cost
them an average Of 40 cents for each of their
money orders for their quarterly payments,
or an average saving of $40 to each PEN
sioner for each of his quarterly payments.
Again, under existing law, if pensioner
loses his check it cannot be duplicated until
six months shall have elapsed, and then
only on the pensioner giving an indemnify
ing bond TO be approved by the Treasury
Department As il is generally impossible
for foreign pensioner to furnish this bond,
he loses his money. Under the present sys-
TEN, if the money order should be lost a
duplicate will at once issue by the foreign
postofIiee, upon which 1t is drawn without
delay or expense or trouble TO the pensioner
Under the foreign money-order system the
pensioner gets his quarterly payments in
the money Of the country I'm which he re.
sides, and almost invariably in the town in
which he lives. This will be great con.
venience TO him, TO say nothing of the saw.
ing. Another advantage of this mode Of
payment is that il will be almost impossible
for any person TO falsely personate the
pensioner and thereby get his money, fol
the reason that the money order is made
payable to the pensioner and mailed TO him
direct; and inasmuch as the foreign post
master will usually know the pensionel
personally, it win be exceedingly diff
cult for any person to swindle him out

The prestige of the British aristoeracy-
the proudest in the worlds getting worse
and worse frayed and tattered. On the heels
of the inehably disgusting Colin-Campbell
divorce case comes another, which is said to
be even filthier, if such thing can be. The
wife of the right noble Marquis of Queens
bury, after years of saint-like forbesranee,
has entered suit against him for separation.
The French have been much luekier than
the English. They cut the heads off their
rotten old aristoerats century ago, and so
got rid of the aBominable institution.

THE papers of New York are excited over
the question as to whether the sentence of
hanging shall be carried out on woman
who murdered her husband with aggravat-
ing details. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's
voice is against hanging a woman. 1t is in
favor of hanging men, and believes that q good
deal more hanging than is now done would
be better for the community. Any sugges-
ton, however, of physical violence to a
woman is always shocking. For example,
we all believe that occasionally some brute
of man should be pounded into insensi-
bility, but there is never any excuse for lay
ing harsh hands on woman.

OF course there are good reasons for find
ing fault with the President, CONGRESSES
sins of omission and commission are much
too numerous, and even the Supreme Court
does not do always just as it should. But
just think how it would be to live in Russia,
where all these branches of Government are
concentrated in one man, and that man has
the delirium tremens so bad that he oceas-
iOnally pops over an aid or somebody whose
hair don't curl to suit him. Things in this
country suit us better than in any we know

THE Veterans Christmas Carol, which
was the latest device of those indefatigable
comrades who constitute the Brooklyn Re-
lief and Employent Bureau, was a grand
success. The Carol was handsome pamph-
let of the size of piece Of sheet music, with
charming verses set to appropriate music.
The remainder of the Is pages was made up
of select miscellany and advertisements.
Fifteen thousand copies Of the Carol were
printed, and the advertising and sale netted
quite handsome sum for the benefit of the
charity fund.

THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN ILLINOIS.
The comrades in Illinois continue to show
both earnestness and shrewdness in their
efforts to secure justice for soldiers. Last
week Comrade Barger, who represents Pope
County in the Illinois House, introduced q
joint resolution which recited that whereas
the arrears of pension act of 1879 provides
that all pensions granted on application filed
on OF after July i, 1880, shall commence
from that date, and whereas many brave
and disabled soldiers were denied arrears
under this act and without any cause for
this exclusion, and whereas pensions granted
should be commensurate with the period of
disability without regard to the time of FL
ing Of application, therefore it is resolved
that Congress be requested to repeal so much
of this act as relates to the arrears limit, and
the act be SO amended as TO extend such
limit according to the recommendations OF
the National Pension Committee or remove
it altogether.
The resolution went on to recite the other
recommendations Of the National Pension
Committee, as follows: First, to continue
pensions TO all widows and dependent rela-
tiyes without asking proof that the pension
er's death was due to service; second, to
pension the dependent parents when PEN
sioner leaves neither widow nor orphans
third, to pension survivors of rebel prisons
without asking proof that disability wa:
due TO imprisonment; fourth, TO pension al
honorably- discharged soldiers and sailor.
now disabled and selfdependent, OF who ar,
81 years.
These were heartily indOrsed," and the
Illinois Representatives in Congress were re
quested to use every effort to have Law
passed embodying these. The resolution wa

of his money. Heretofore these checks have
usually been mailed in care Of United
States Consul or United States officer resid-
ing nearest the home of the pensioner, and
great delay was frequently experienced by
the pensioner in getting his money; and,
finally, the fees on these money orders will
90 back to the Government through the
Postofice Department. Taking it all in all,
this money-order system for the payment of
pensioners residing in foreign countries will
doubtless prove a great advantage to the
pensioner, the agent who pays these pen
sions, and to the Government as well.
